Bring out your quirkiest mugs and spoons* to Downtown Ithaca on Saturday, December 4th for the 11th Annual Chowder Cook-Off.  This festive foodie event offers an afternoon filled with chowder samples, craft beverages, and farmers’ market goods.  Sample many chowders from local restaurants who are competing for bragging rights at this annual event.

Chowder sample tickets are sold in blocks of 10 and 20 tickets.  They are used to redeem chowder and craft beverage samples at food and beverage booths during the festival.  Tickets can be purchased in advance online or on the day of Chowder Cook-Off.

Enjoy shopping, dining, and entertainment including frosty craft beverages from an outdoor bar carved entirely from ice too.  Also, take advantage of complimentary gift wrapping inside the Downtown Visitor Center on any presents purchased from a shop downtown.
